Ok I'm looking at upgrading to a electric fuel pump.
My stock mechanical pump doesn't seem to be doing it's job anymore and has a mind of it's own about when you have fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure at idle is about 4psi and will drop to 1-0 psi under moderate acceleration or wot.
And sometimes (especially after a hard run) it will idle at 1 psi and drop with any throttle.
Now I would say it was my gauge just being funky but there is a noticeable difference in power smoke and boost between the two different readings.
And my mileage has been steadily getting worse even with new ip and injectors.
Wich has me thinking. If I'm going to replace my fuel pump anyways I'm going to put an e pump on.
I like the idea of being able to prime especially after a fuel filter change or having the return lines off. Few extra ponys and hopefully get my mileage back some. Also like the idea that I will be able to set it at 7psi and it will stay there no matter how much throttle I give it.
Wich leads me here. What pump do I want to use? I've been researching for the past week now on this subject and have came to the conclusion that I do NOT want a Holley pump.
I've heard good things About the faucet pump and I liked what wmoguy just set up.
Any help her or personal experices will be very apreciated.
